Last Entry: Last time Patrick got us up to date with the family. First the twins became toddlers and kept Patrick and Kirabo up all the time on different schedules. They eventually grew into children and all 3 kids got into private school. Leena became a teenager and decided what she wanted out of life.
FAMILY TREE
(Click on image to see full size) The family tree for the Yerazig clan is getting bigger. We see this tree because the Bar family is a part of the Yerazig founding family by way of founding toddler Kirabo Yerazig-Bar. She had a twin sister, Ekene, when they moved her with their grandfather Eniola and mother Akinyi. Akinyi ended up marying Bruce Rauscher and they had four additional kids together, Becca who married Alon Kimon, Subira who married Alvin Marzena, Enu who is sent to marry Jane Ngai and Zuri who is heading to college and hasn't found her match yet. Between all of these kids there are currently 5 additional kids. Yu, Becca and Alon's daughter; Kofi, Ekene and Dennis Marzena's son; Leena, daughter of Kirabo and Patrick; Ataro and Amara, twins of Kirabo and Patrick.

Diary,
I've said it before and I will say it again. This town is crazy. So a few updates back I mentioned about how there was a thing with Ekene and Denis and then Marylena and Denis, and then Bianca and Denis. Well turns out there was also stuff between Marylena and Ryan, which I guess after the whole Bianca thing he was going to get back at her, although from what I've heard there really wasn't much, but they were still pretty cozy in that hottub of hers, but beyond all that, Denis has struck again. This time it happened at the birthday party of Marylena and Denis' son Falkor. Now I personally wasn't there, but Biyu filled me in that apparently Gina, our friend from college flirted with him right in front of her husband. I mean, Benjamin was right there. He's such a good guy too, and my son Ataro is getting to be friends with their son Kurt. I just can't believe it. I called Gina and talked with her about it. She couldn't really explain why she did it, just that she's liked Denis since she was a teenager and so she careesed him. I don't know what I would do if I was her husband, but I guess they'll have to figure it out themselves. Crazy town!
Anyway, I got left some money from when Daniela passed away. She arrived here the same time my family did and her daughters and I were grew close in college. I will miss her, she was a very sweet woman.
The twins are very active together and play all the time. I cannot believe I have these twins and that they are almost teenagers. It's so hard to believe. That is the passage of time, however, and is just how it goes sometimes. I will cherish the time while they are still little kids.
Patrick has begun a garden at the house. He got really into gardening in college, even got himself a golden badge for it. So he spends time plant and talking to people out there. I do try to help out and as the kids get older they will help more and more. Hopefully we will begin to have a nice set of vegetables around all the time. We even got some fruit trees as well.
The kids bring home friends from school more and more often. Amara is starting to be good friends with Gina Isleen. She also has befriended Runi Marzena. As I mentioned earlier, Ataro is friends with Kurt Alioto. I'm not surprised he has spent more time at our house lately. I'm sure things cannot be good at home for him right now.
The kids are all doing very well in school. Patrick and I taught the twins to study and they have both come home with A's now. Leena is still doing really well in school and got herself a job. She really wants to be a Prestigitaor, or however you spell that, and she got a job in entertainment. She has started out as a mascot, and doesn't enjoy that part of the job that much, but she is working hard and should move up soon.
The plants are coming in nicely in the garden and Patrick has been working on them while he's had time off work. I got myself a promotion and have become a Game Designer. I got to be friends with a lot of my co-workers. I really would love to try my hand at sports next, but age is starting to get to me, and I just don't see that happening at this time in my life. I've had lots of fun though.
Patrick is also doing really well at his job. He is getting closer to becoming Captain Hero just like he wanted to. He is still such a good father to the kids and spends time with them. Especially during meals. He tries to keep up on all they are involved in, but that can get hard with 3 kids. Between school and friends, Leena's job, homework, and our two jobs it feels like we barely keep it all together somedays, but I would trade it in for anything. I can't imagine what it feels like in Adona's house with all her kids. How she has kept up with everything is beyond me.
I managed to build up all the logic points I could ever know one night while playing Patrick at chess. I can still usually beat him, although he's getting rather good. I don't think any of the kids have really taken to chess yet, but I'm hoping they will as they get older. Those skills could prove very useful later on in their lives.
Right before the twins birthday the yard was ready and complete. Patrick and I had worked hard on it, it was spring so the snow as mostly gone, although the fountains were still frozen over, but I decided it was time to call over the garden club. With the nature interest Patrick had, and he had sort of rubbed off on me by getting me to help in the garden we had done a lot of work and I thought they might be impressed. Sure enough they offered me a membership and I even got a special well to put in the garden. A lot of this will actually probably go, or change as we clean it up a bit more, but it turned out pretty good. (Editor's Note: This is my FIRST EVER wishing well. I was so excited. I used ASimWen's guide and I finally got one. So excited. I'm going to leave it the way it is to get the rest of the house in the garden club and then I will probably get rid of some of the trees as they take up so much room.)
Before I knew it, and really, before I was ready, it was time of the twins birthday. We called so many people over and my parents and most of my brothers and sisters came over for the party. Plus a lot of our friends came over as well. It was a fun party and the twins grew up great. I know I'm biased, but my kids are so speical and I know they are going to do well.

After the twins birthday life went back to a semi-normal exisistance just with the kids going out more. The twins would go out together and often times Leena stayed home to paint. I know she and Jian Isleen had a flirtation going on but I don't know if it's serious or not. She never really talks about him, but then she doesn't talk about many boys at all. She also doesn't really talk about girls either, so she may just not be interested in dating. I know it wasn't something I did a lot of until college and I found Patrick.
We still typically go the lake on Saturday's. It's been a tradition for so long I'm not sure anyone even really remembers why we started it. When I was a little girl I remember talk of how it was the best place to find cheep food, because you could catch the fish for free and feed your family. I don't know if that was every really the true reason or not, but I could see the draw for families like mine who had very little when they arrived here. They lake has been getting busier and busier. I guess when it is a tradition and the town grows, so do the crowds.
Sadly our beloved Alphonse has passed away as well. We were all doing our own things one morning and just heard her bark. We came into the room and found she was heading off into the great beyond. I hope we gave her a good life here while she was with us. The kids miss her dearly and I wonder if we will end up with another dog soon. After all if Ataro takes over the house he wants to be friends with all animals and will need plenty around.
Time continues to travel on and my birthday came around again as well. I guess you could call me an old lady now, but I still feel pretty good. Still, it was a special event, one of my big birthday's so I once again invited just about everyone over. We had a very full house and it was a lot of fun. Let's see there was my brother Enu and of course Ekene was there. Then Allega Livingston came, she's a friend from college, and Biyu Isleen was here as well. Obviously the kids came, Kofi's girlfriend Meadow came over. I'm not entirely sure when I first met her, but she's been around the nighborhood a lot.
We all danced a lot, and there was a lot of laughter. Then with much excitment and fanfare I blew out my candles. Oh let's see, who else was there, oh of course Biyu's husband Franz Isleen came, and Chandler Platz was there. Then there was a friend from college, who ever seems to age, and Ryan Chen. Patrick and the kids were, of course, there although Leena did have to work. Annelise was there, that's right, and Ame Marzena came as well.
Well I suppose that's about all there is to fill you in on now. It is a crazy town, but I love my family and my kids. I couldn't have asked for a better life than I've had here. I guess we'll see what happens with all the drama, and I'll have to give an update when I find out more.
